A wonderful day for Temecula students

I would like to acknowledge the wonderful community interaction that occurred Jan. 10 in Old Town Temecula.

The entire, 325-student, sixth-grade student body of Temecula Middle School visited with open arms the Temecula City Hall, Fire Station 12, the Old Town Rootbeer Company, the Olive Oil Company, the Sweet Shop, Old Town Spice Shop, the Mary Phillips Senior Center, the Temecula Valley Museum and the Merc, which featured local artist Shelby Skinner. Finally, we were treated to a performance of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” in the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

It was predicted to rain, so officials at City Hall even let the students use the conference center for lunch. It was all accomplished for free through grant writing and the giving nature of our community.
